  • Luminescent group 1A copper halides and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11591516
    Abstract: High photoluminescence, high stability, inorganic perovskite compounds comprising an alkali metal selected from potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), and cesium (Cs); copper (Cu); and at least one halogen selected from chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). The perovskites may be free of lead (Pb). The inorganic perovskite compound may be used in an optoelectronic device. The optoelectronic device optionally contains a phosphor such as a blue-emitting phosphor. The inorganic perovskite compound may be used as an anti-counterfeiting nanotaggant applied on or within an object that susceptible to counterfeiting to enable confirmation of an authentic object.
